ABOUT:
With more than 70 percent of cooks reporting they choose the Internet over cookbooks, Recipe Rock from Architec Housewares will be the perfect sous chef for all that holiday dinner prep work. This small 2-inch, sculpted, concave “rock” simultaneously holds up to eight pages of printed recipes upright at the ideal viewing angle and prevents pages from sauce splatters and dirty hands. With its innovative new way to hold recipes and its $9.99 price point, Recipe Rock is the perfect stocking stuffer or last minute gift. Recipe Rock is perfect for recipes from the Internet, magazines and even note-cards. And it is small enough to fit in a drawer or recipe box! Recipe Rock is simple, practical and extremely easy to use. Just remove the metal ball from the magnetic rock, place the pages upright in front of the rock and replace the ball on the rock with the papers in between.
The Recipe Rock and other Architec Housewares products are available at Crate & Barrel and specialty boutiques. We would be happy to send you a sample for your own review on Mama’s Money Savers and/or provide hi-res images.
MY THOUGHTS:
I am terrible at keeping recipes intact. Since most of my recipes are ones I printed out or took the card out of my recipe box, I am constantly trying to keep the recipe clean while I am cooking. Yes I do have a cookbook stand but it is big and I am usually too lazy to drag it out. Recipe Rock though is an awesome idea! Not only is it reasonably priced at less than $10 (I paid like $25 for my cookbook stand) but it is small enough to put in a drawer or nice enough to leave out on the counter.
The Recipe Rock really is a simple product but so useful. I did doubt how well it would work, but you can’t judge a book, or in this case a rock, by its cover. I put a printed recipe on it and it held it up just right. I didn’t have a big stand in my way or a messy recipe. I also am more apt to use it for my recipes rather than throwing the paper on the counter.
BUY IT: The Recipe Rock and other Architec Housewares products are available at Crate & Barrel and specialty boutiques. I also found it on Amazon.
WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a Recipe Rock (colors may vary)

Aisling says
I’ve developed a “system” (of sorts) for holding up recipes that are printed out. I clip them on to my cooling rack with a binder clip and prop the rack up against the wall. It works, but I’d love to have a Recipe Rock that would work better and look SO much nicer!
cassandra says
Currently when I print them out I always end up making them a mess because they are always by all my ingredients on the counter or table top

I normally just leave them on the comp and bring my laptop into the kitchen or they’re just printed on paper and shoved in drawers in the kitchen…with food all over them!

I tend to tape the recipes I print from a web site to something on the counter so they don’t flutter away. This would be a GREAT way to handle them!
